Pros

The benefits package at KPMG was very good. On the audit side, it is possible to have a fairly flexible schedule; as long as the job was getting done, there was no micro-managing;a bonus to those of us working with kids. CPE was another beneift, one I didn't recognize until leaving and struggling to get 40 hours when at KPMG I'd get 100+ hours easy. Finally, getting the opportunity to visit numerous client in varying industries is a nice perk to learning more about the accounting world and how different firms do things

Cons

The downside was a result of my personality. I'm a heads down, get the work done person; not a reality for an audit manager who is expected to bring in business, attend trustee meetings, etc.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
